@LeagueOne25 I think the photo is definitely a 1 out of 10!

@jonnye2689 @LeagueOne25 9 he’s unbelievable!

Oh it’s brilliant. This is Starmer in 2020

I suggest he watches this on loop

“When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to… You don’t look at the electorate and ask them ‘what were you thinking?’ You look at yourself and ask ‘what were we doing?’”

GLORIOUS 🔥

@timothybumper @AJEnglish @ResulSerdarAtas I could guess who, if it’s true, but I don’t wish to say because ….

@JamieRaynor If we lose and Stevenage and Luton win we’ll be out of the playoffs!
It’s going to be a stressful time on Saturday watching all the score updates.

@MPIainDS Thank you for your powerful speech

[Jim Bedford @raikesend]

@Bounce_BackLoan I listened/watched Olly Robbins giving evidence. He comes across as a really nice, honourable man. He’s been treated very badly and shouldn’t have been sacked. More trouble ahead for Mr Starmer

@hol40900 Well, we’re happy he’s gone!
We don’t switch on BBC 2 until 9.30. We didn’t like his style or his music. We didn’t know he was gay but we did know he was a poor presenter on BBC 2.

@BBCWYS We are at a special time in the clubs history as we edge nearer the end of the season. Mr Rupp has spent money to get us here and the reality is he will have to spend much more to maintain our position in the Championship should we get that third place. Maybe time to sell.

US' SSgt. Bellavia just warned Iran. These are his words: "We’ve seen war. We don’t want war, but if you want a war with the United States of America, there is one thing I can promise you, so help me God: someone else will raise your sons and daughters." -
Please share till it gets to Iran.

Last year, Ed Miliband went to Beijing to strike an energy deal with China on behalf of the British taxpayer.

The Government say the deal will ‘enhance cooperation on renewables and grid modernisation’.

‘Enhance cooperation’ how, exactly? We don’t know.

Because unlike the energy deals I signed with Korea, Germany, and Ireland when I was Energy Secretary – or the agreements Ed Miliband has struck with other countries – the details of this China deal remain hidden from the public.

The Conservatives have been chasing down the details on this dodgy deal for months, just like we did on Peter Mandelson and the Government’s disastrous Chagos deal.

However, Ed has taken evasion to a whole new art form.

When I asked him why he wouldn’t publish the deal in the House last week, he called my question a ‘wacky conspiracy theory.’

When the ever-forensic Bradley Thomas questioned him the next day during a Select Committee, he dodged the question over 17 times.

Hardly the look of a Government which is committed to transparency, is it?

Miliband’s Department has used the exact same line that Keir Starmer tried to use to keep the Mandelson documents under lock and key.

They retreated behind an opaque plea for diplomacy, arguing that publishing the deal would ‘prejudice relations’ with Beijing.

Let that sink in. Ed Miliband’s own department thinks that if the British public sees his secret energy deal with the Chinese Communist Party, then it might damage his relationship with China.

This is an incredibly serious issue. Just last week Norway’s security services joined the chorus of intelligence warnings about the West’s reliance on Chinese renewable technology.

Undocumented ‘kill-switches’ were found in solar farm equipment in the US. The Five Eyes security alliance has publicly warned about Chinese state-sponsored hackers seeking to “destroy” Western energy systems in the event of conflict.

When it comes to solar panels, critical minerals or batteries, there is one global dominant player: China. Last year’s trade wars showed us that China was more than willing to use its vice-like hold on the world’s critical mineral supplies as a bargaining tool.

As Ed shuts down the North Sea, plugs up our gas wells, and ships in ever more solar panels, he likes to say that every wind turbine and solar panel gives us energy security.

But if Ed’s plan to make Britain’s energy system completely reliant on Chinese components is successful, what will we do in the event of a conflict?

As the former Head of MI6 rightly said, when it comes to national security, Labour’s energy plans are “completely crazy”.

What is Ed Miliband hiding? Did his secret energy deal include commitments not to raise concerns about plans to import solar panels made by Chinese slaves?

Did it involve promises to maintain our dependence on Chinese supply chains? Did he promise to share data about our power grid that could be exploited to cause blackouts?

We simply do not know, because Ed Miliband will not tell us.

This is a pattern of behaviour across the Labour Government and by this Secretary of State.

Ed Miliband is embarking on the most radical change in energy policy in half a century, yet he ducks questioning in the Commons, hides behind meaningless soundbites on the media, and has never, ever, published a forecast of what his radical plans will do to people’s energy bills.

When I was Energy Secretary, I ordered a true costing of renewables, because I believe our priority as a country should be to make our electricity cheap. I demanded that every policy be brought to me with a Bills Test, a clear explanation of what the impact will be on people’s energy bills.

Ed has cancelled that work. He doesn’t want to know the truth, because his plans are not based on fact, but quasi-religious fervour.

He said last week that the Labour Party should stand up to the powerful. But he should remember that he is the one with power, and he treats scrutiny as if it is a joke.

@NeilGrainger73 @Jamiesk35638078 @ParkerTandA @Bradford_TandA The cost of running the club is high. Not yet seen the latest accounts but it obvious we’re reliant him funding the club. To take us to the next level requires his commitment or sale of the club.

[Jim Bedford @raikesend]

@LeagueOne25 I wish Andy well if he leaves. He has been a great asset for our club.
We face a very tough time without a robust goal scorer up front.
